British Lifetime Console Sales Figures Get!

**R.O.B.** · 3rd July 2009

According to figures released by GfK-ChartTrack, there are now 24 million current-generation consoles in the UK. Let's see how those numbers break down.

The numbers can be found in the latest report from European retailer GAME, and reveal that each console has sold the following:

DS - 9.1 million

Wii - 5.4 million

Xbox 360 - 3.9 million

PSP - 3.3 million

PS3 - 2.2 million

Not many surprises there. There's a few surprises in the sales figures for just the past 12 months, however, with PSP sales falling through the floor (and PS3 sales dropping as well), while the 360 seems to be picking up steam.

DS - 2.7 million

Wii - 2.3 million

Xbox 360 - 1.7 million

PS3 - 900,000

PSP - 500,000

PSP gets barely any shelf space here, and I highly doubt sales will pick up that dramatically with the overpriced PSP Go.

Shouldn't PS2 be on this list given that its still being sold by the chain?

PS2 has an unfair 6 year head start.
